    Rarely do former intel chiefs and I agree, but the head of India's RAW writes #Aadhaar is being abused by banks, telcos, and transport not to police entitlements, but as a proxy for identity–an improper gate to service. Such demands must be criminalized.https://thewire.in/215766/indias-severe-case-aadhaaritis/ …

        Operators threaten users with disconnection of service if they fail to link their #Aadhaar card to their mobile numbers. Banks are also threatening account closures. Threatening in India appears to have become a standard practice.

        You'll actually find that the Supreme Court has ruled against making it mandatory to link your #Aadhaar to your mobile connection or bank account. It is the #gundaraj administration which is bullying or even threatening private companies in mass adoption of the fraudulent scheme.

        It is the SC which extended the date up to 31st march for linking aadhar with Bank and telecos, point is bank and telecos not to be blamed but the govt.

        How many times has this 'deadline' been extended? Is the Supreme Court being forced into making a ruling it does not believe in? Maybe it is even being threatened into making this ruling? Anything is possible in lawless and fraudulent #India

        Leave aside criminalization of uses of Aadhaar. Why should Aadhaar exist at all? Don't you agree India must #DestroyTheAadhaar ASAP? When Aadhaar itself stops existing, it's criminal uses also cannot happen.https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/955050455490547712 …

        You need not use a smartphone. I don't. Even if u do u can restrict activities. Even for the info it has from your activities, it does not have many places to use them. They are useless keys without locks. Aadhaar provides digital locks to rob with keys.https://twitter.com/NagaArjunManu/status/955086233100722176 …

        Can you elaborate the last line? I know we are being literally dog-tagged, but linking my adhaar to my phone or bank accounts. How is it compromising me? Is it like a single point of failure? Someone gets my adhaar no. , means he has everything he needs to steal my identity?

        Don't fall in to the leftists trap. Aadhar is a powerful instrument to manage a large population. I would have expected you to do a bit of research before putting out this tweet.
